The results of a new VR survey are in, and show the platforms and projects pulling the most developer attention. There’s huge support for VR, but HTC’s Vive is the early winner, ahead of the Oculus Rift.

Not only did Sony announce its new virtual reality headset Project Morpheus this week, but it also unveiled a number of big changes headed for the PS4 later this year. From dimming the DualShock 4’s light bar to removing always-on HDCP, these updates are going to make the PS4 better than ever, and answer some of the loudest criticisms from the gaming community.

In the days since the Project Morpheus announcement, the internet has been abuzz with excitement. Sony’s new VR helmet for the PS4 is receiving substantial mainstream coverage and a surprising amount of praise from the gaming and technology community. Sony is knocking it out of the park with Project Morpheus, and we’re all going to benefit from it.

Obviously terrified of being squeezed out of the market by Sony’s Project Morpheus virtual reality headset, Oculus VR has announced the imminent arrival of its second-generation Oculus Rift dev kit: The DK2. The DK2 has high-res, low-latency 1080p displays per eye, among other improved features. The DK2 is available to pre-order for $350, and should ship by July. The consumer version, along with decent support for AAA games, is still looking like a 2015 release at the earliest.
